Best shot: Actress Rutherford stuffed in a French maid's uniform (black bombazine with a white lace apron tied at the back in a pretty little winglike bow) and looking for all the world like a hippopotamus trying to play Titania...

Romantic, richly worked evening gowns slink to floor length, Gattinoni's narrow satin gowns come with heavily beaded apron fronts, and Top Designer Micol Fontana offers a blue velvet ball gown with gold embroidery spilling over the skirt.
